Happy Holidays from Team WWTC!!!

20/12/2022

What a whirlwind! After a week in Disney and Universal, I’m back at my desk and granting vacation wishes ✨ From spring break trips to my favorite theme parks to winter breaks on a tropical island to summer European getaways, I’ve had a busy few days planning adventures for new and returning clients. I am continuously reminded of how ⭐️ LUCKY ⭐️ I am to be able to do what I love every day, and I am so grateful to all that trust me with their travel plans. I appreciate you ❤️
This photo is of a accomplished last week, signing the book at The Imagination Institute was incredibly special. Figment is my all-time favorite Disney character, and he represents the power of imagination and creativity in our every day life. He reminds me that with , your mind is capable of seeing more than what your eyes see ❤️

Did you know that you can walk through Hogwarts even if you don’t want to ride The Forbidden Journey? My little wizard doesn’t meet the height requirements to ride yet but she was so excited to be able to walk through the queue and see the castle!

14/12/2022

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to end our stay at Universal Orlando - the Holiday Tour was AMAZING!! After checking in with our amazing guide Billie, we were escorted to the preferred seating area for the Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular! It such a cute and funny telling of the story, we all loved it. After hearing and seeing some stories backstage, we headed over to the New York area of Universal Studios Florida to ride Race Through New York with Jimmy Fallon, meet Santa Claus and check out the tribute store. Hanging out on the top of 30 Rock and looking out over an empty park was one of the coolest things ever! After that, we headed back to Seuss Land for meet and greets with the Grinch and Max at Circus McGurkus, and these were absolutely the highlight of our entire trip. We had some snacks, including Hoo-Hash Tots and sugar cookies with hot cocoa, before ending our tour in Hogsmeade with a private showing of The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle! It was an incredible evening and we are heading home this morning filled with holiday spirit and ready to celebrate with family and friends. Thanks for following along on our adventure, until next time Universal!

13/12/2022

We grabbed an early dinner at Bigfire before our Holiday Tour! Here, open fire cooking takes center-stage. The steaks were cooked perfectly and tasted of smoky goodness, and the service was stellar. Now we’re off on our Holiday Tour, I’ll post all about it tomorrow - have a great night!

13/12/2022

We took advantage of a few hours of sunshine and hit up Volcano Bay this afternoon! The park is completely empty and everything is ready to ride now, even Krakatau was a walk-on 🎢 I love having the 3-Park ticket with the option to visit multiple parks in the same day, it makes enjoying all Universal Orlando has to offer so easy!

12/12/2022

Good morning from Universal Orlando! 👋🏼 My family is so excited to spend the next couple days enjoying the holidays in the parks! Last night, we watched Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s ⭐️ These larger-than-life balloons floated through the streets of Universal Studios Florida, along with the Minions and some of our favorite characters from Shrek and Madagascar 🎁

10/12/2022

They say don’t meet your heroes ⛄️ but today this little girl not only gets to meet Olaf BUT she gets to see at his very first tonight 🎄Most six year olds would *probably* be more excited for the snowman, but Ramona has watched The Making of Frozen on Disney+ no less than 20 times and absolutely adores ❤️ We can’t wait!!!

10/12/2022

We had a magical afternoon exploring the holiday decorations at Disney Springs; we especially loved the Christmas Tree Stroll!

08/12/2022

Our time at Magic Kingdom has come to an end but we certainly made the BEST out of it with the help of Genie+ this morning! We got to the park around 9a and we did so much, including:
🚀 Space Mountain 🧞‍♂️
👽 Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin 🧞‍♂️
🚟 Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover
🐘 Dumbo the Flying Elephant
🧜🏻‍♀️ Under the Sea with the Little Mermaid
🍯 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh 🧞‍♂️
🍕 Lunch at Pinocchio’s Village Haus
🌏 it’s a small world
🏴‍☠️ Pirates of the Caribbean 🧞‍♂️
Now we’re off to Disney’s Hollywood Studios 🎬

08/12/2022

Ready for the most magical day in Magic Kingdom!!!!

I wanted to extend a special thanks to all of my clients for allowing me to enjoy this long weekend off with family and friends!
It’s been a whirlwind, but I’ve managed to…
✅ Host 20 of our nearest & dearest for Thanksgiving
✅ Manifest magical return of “Tom”, our favorite elf

I love visiting Oga’s Cantina when I’m on Batuu. The Outer Rim is my personal favorite (and most of Team WWTC’s 😂) and it didn’t disappoint on my most recent visit. I love collecting the coasters, too!

14/10/2022

This Foodie Friday is brought to you by my favorite snacks from the 2022 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival!

My top three eats of this year are:

🧄 Garlic-Parmesan Wings from Brew-Wing
🧀 Cowboy Macaroni & Cheese from Mac & Eats
🍟 Fry Flight from The Fry Basket

The festival will be around for about another month, so plenty of time to still get over to Epcot and experience these things for yourself 🤤

14/10/2022

Feeling extra grateful this Friday for having a job that allows me to spend my days planning magical vacations for all of you. And hanging out with these guys is a fun perk, too. Happy Friday, have a great weekend!

13/10/2022

It’s the 13th 😱 but don’t be spooked! Did you know that when The Haunted Mansion lists a wait time of 13 minutes, the happy haunts have a doom buggy ready for you with little to no wait time? But remember - beware, of hitchiking ghosts 👻

12/10/2022

As a Disney Visa cardholder, I was able to stop in and visit these two in Epcot last week! This photo spot is one of my favorite cardholder perks, you never know which members of the Fab 5 you might find. Incase you can’t tell from the look on my face, I was pretty excited to see Minnie and Pluto in their 50th Anniversary outfits, Minnie told me she made hers herself 😉

11/10/2022

Let’s talk about this tasty treat, the Black Flame Candle Cake available only at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to celebrate Hocus Pocus seas- I mean, Halloween 🎃 Not only was it a work of art, it was delicious!

11/10/2022

Did you know that there are four Walt Disney World Resort hotels with access to Disney’s Skyliner?

🕺🏼 Disney’s Pop Century Resort
🎨 Disney’s Art of Animation
🏝️ Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort

Finally I can say I am home, sweet home 🏡

I’m so grateful that central Florida made it through Hurricane Ian with minimal damage, but sadly many southwestern parts of the state did not.

I know how special this area is to many of my colleagues, clients, and friends. I hope that I’m able to find a way to give back to the communities in need of support as they rebuild.

My heart goes out to all those impacted by the storm, you’ll be in my thoughts as you start down the road to recovery ❤️

30/09/2022

All checked in to Disney’s Pop Century Resort for what will *actually* be the last night of my trip 😆

I put my stuff down then hopped on Disney’s Skyliner to visit Epcot! I’m going to check out the 40th Anniversary treats, ride Guardians of the Galaxy one more time, and enjoy the last of this beautiful day ☀️

30/09/2022

🎶 I can see clearly now, the rain is gone ☀️

We weathered the storm and we’re back in the parks today! Magic Kingdom is open from 8a-10a for resort guests only so we’re starting our day with one of our faves 🎢

Happy Friday!

28/09/2022

We are safe at our resort and are staying put through the storm. We were able to enjoy a delicious hot breakfast, saw characters in the lobby, shopped, and picked up food for the rest of the day (we had previously stocked up on water and snacks). We got some work done this afternoon, and figured out how to stream Disney+ on the room TV from our phone!

We are beyond grateful for the Cast Members that are staying here and have left their families at home to help keep guests safe.

25/09/2022

I had a jam packed afternoon at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! People ask me all the time, is Genie+ worth it?

🫵🏻 You be the judge! Here’s all that I was able to do in just 3 hours:

🚂 Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
🍺 Drinks at Oga’s Cantina
🎸 Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
🎢 Slinky Dog Dash
🎯 Toy Story Mania
🚀 Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run

So if you ask me, the answer is ⭐️ 💯 ⭐️

25/09/2022

It’s been quiet on my page lately, you’ve been keeping me busy and for that I am so grateful!!!

But don’t worry, by the end of this week you’ll be sick of me again because I’m on my way to Walt Disney World 🏰

This week includes some fun firsts for me, including staying in Deluxe Studios at both Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and the Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort! Stay tuned for a week full of updayes from my magical adventure ❤️
